175 is five more than 170. As I understand it rated rpm is the biggest difference ------------- There are 3 ways to do job GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. YOU MAY CHOOSE 2. If its FAST & CHEAP it won't be GOOD, if it's GOOD & CHEAP it won't be FAST, and if its GOOD & FAST it won't be CHEAP!!!! |

No major differences. 170 diesel uses the Perkins 236 and so did first year 175s. All other 175s had the 248 Perkins. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| One interesting trivia fact about the 175 gas is it was the last gas tractor AC built. |

| 54 HP versus 60 HP. All 175's had 185 final drives, which were geared a little slower. All 175's had a 15% faster second gear in the transmission. 175's had a hydraulic oil cooler (I think). |

| And I think it was standard in 1971, but later made an option on the 175 tractor as a cost reducing change. |
